Help with a Hijack This log

Hi guys,

I've been trying to get rid of the "Home Search Assistant" and the "Search Extender" for the past 2 weeks and I'm getting discouraged. Could someone take a look at my log?

Thanks

    Please disable Spybot's Teatimer function before you proceed with this fix.
    http://russelltexas.com/malware/teatimer.htm



    You have an HSA infection. The filenames on this type of infection can change each time you reboot your computer or use Internet Explorer. With that in mind, some of these filenames may be different. But the pattern is the same and you may be able to determine the correct files to remove. The sooner you perform this fix, the higher it's chances for success.

    Much of this fix has to be performed in Safe Mode where you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Please print out these instructions.


    Step 1
    Download CWShredder but don't run it yet.


    Step 2
    Download AboutBuster
    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.


    Step 3
    Download Ad-aware SE 1.06
    Install the program and launch it. First, in the main window, look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files. Exit Adaware for now.


    Step 5
    Make sure that you can VIEW ALL HIDDEN FILES.


    Step 6
    Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE


    Step 7
    Run Hijackthis again, click scan, and Put a checkmark next to each of these. Then close all other windows--you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop--and click the Fix Checked button.

    O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\crwg32.exe



    Step 8
    Now run CWShredder, making sure to click "Fix".


    Step 9
    Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist)

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\hmthu.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspq.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\syszn32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\crwg32.exe


    Step 10
    Double click AboutBuster.exe that you downloaded earlier. Click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report(copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.


    Step 11
    Run a full scan with Adaware.


    Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode and post a new hijackthis log and the log from About Buster.

    I think you did it, oh Great Buckeye_Sam. There's no sign of the HSA on my computer. My startpage is not hijacked anymore and HSA and Search Extender has even disappeared from my "Add and Remove Programs". My log seems to look good also:

    One more question: I'm still on SP1; would you recommend to switch to SP2? I'm a bit afraid because I've read horror stories about it!

    Thanks a lot Buckeye_Sam. You're a real magic man...

    You're not quite clean yet.

    Please remove these entries from Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel(if present):

    Media Access


    ===================================


    Fix these lines with Hijackthis.

    Reboot and post one last hijackthis log.



    ==========================================



    I would absolutely recommend installing SP2. There's just too many security benefits not to have it. It's been out for a while and most of the initial bugs have been ironed out. It will substantially increase the security of your computer.

    Thanks again for the help. Since I posted that log, I believe one of my programs already took care of the R0 and the O4 lines (might be Tweak Now). So I only had to fix the O16 line. Media Access was not present in my "Add/Remove Programs". Here's my new log:

    Your log is clean!

    Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
    1. Disable and Enable System Restore. - If you are using Windows ME or XP then you should disable and reenable system restore to make sure there are no infected files found in a restore point left over from what we have just cleaned.

      You can find instructions on how to enable and reenable system restore here:

      Managing Windows Millenium System Restore

      or

      Windows XP System Restore Guide

      Renable system restore with instructions from tutorial above

    2. Make your Internet Explorer more secure - This can be done by following these simple instructions:
      1. From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
      2. Click once on the Security tab
      3. Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
      4. Click once on the Custom Level button.
        1. Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
        2. Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
        3. Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
        4. Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
        5. Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
        6. Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
        7. When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
        8. If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
      5. Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.

    3. Use an AntiVirus Software - It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future.

      See this link for a listing of some online & their stand-alone antivirus programs:

      Virus, Spyware, and Malware Protection and Removal Resources

    4. Update your AntiVirus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Antivirus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

    5. Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly.

      For a tutorial on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below:

      Understanding and Using Firewalls

    6. Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

    7. Install Spybot - Search and Destroy - Install and download Spybot - Search and Destroy with its TeaTimer option. This will provide realtime spyware & hijacker protection on your computer alongside your virus protection. You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software.

      A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

      Using Spybot - Search & Destroy to remove Spyware , Malware, and Hijackers

    8. Install Ad-Aware - Install and download Ad-Aware. ou should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software in conjunction with Spybot.

      A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

      Using Ad-aware to remove Spyware, Malware, & Hijackers from Your Computer

    9. Install SpywareBlaster - SpywareBlaster will added a large list of programs and sites into your Internet Explorer settings that will protect you from running and downloading known malicious programs.

      A tutorial on installing & using this product can be found here:

      Using SpywareBlaster to protect your computer from Spyware and Malware

    10. Update all these programs regularly - Make sure you update all the programs I have listed regularly. Without regular updates you WILL NOT be protected when new malicious programs are released.
    Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.
